Hidden little streets meandering towards spectacular panoramas, sumptuous palaces inhabited by dynamic sculptures adorned with ornamental details, churches with their domes rising up into the sky, terrace gardens embellished with sculptures and fountains... The entire district expresses the Baroque glory, that appeared in the 17th century after the devastation brought by the Thirty Years War, and which flourished all over Bohemia during the 18th century. Taking a walk in its most beautiful gardens (the Waldstein garden, the Vrtba garden...) you can almost hear the rustle of the Baroque parties that took place there, witnessing the dazzling "art de vivre" practiced by the aristocrats.
Right in the center of this magnificent theatrical stage, the Saint Nicholas church, master-work of the Dientzenhofers father and son, with its undulating and dynamic façade and its majestic dome, belongs undoubtedly to the finest gems of Baroque architecture in the world.
